One of my front park light lens was cracked. Got a sheet of ceiling light lens and a can of Valspar chrome spray paint at Lowes. Used some clear epoxy to bond the new lens on. The ceiling light plastic is not too durable so this will work for now till something else comes along in the future.
Got my new holes drilled and mocked up the sport mirrors. I absolutely love these mirrors. The drivers side is remote. I got one seat belt anchor fabbed and welded in.

Looking good. I have those mirrors for the wagon, but converting to power mirrors. Also a good idea with the packing lights. You have to make due with you you have sometimes. 😀
Got 4 of the 8 seat belt anchors completed. Had a bad moment with the left side sport mirror. I noticed the lens assembly was floppy and there was a little slack in the cables. After examination, I found one cable had come loose from the crimp behind the lens. Also the remote cable is too short to put in the lower door panel. I removed the cable from my original mirror and will reinstall on the sport mirror.
Man, you dare to be different, basically a rear wheel drive Citation. What is the Butless Cutlass weight?
Finally restored the other tail light assembly. I used Mothers mag and aluminum polish on the lens and chromed plastic bezel. I repainted the inside of the housing with chrome spray paint. I used some foam tape from Lowes for a new lens gasket. I then screwed it back together with new stainless screws that I polished on my buffing wheel. Turned out pretty clean. It's amazing how the original reflective paint just falls off over time. I would bet they are a lot brighter than before.
I ordered a new carpet kit and the lower door panels carpet pieces. I was thinking about getting a set of embroidered floor mats till they said shipping was $40. Guess I'll have to wait a few weeks
